The Gateshead Millenium Bridge scheme was one of the finalists
in this years' Prime Minsters award for better Public Building.
In 2001, the Prime Minster endorsed an accolade for better public
Building in Britain. The initiative aimed to do away with the perception that
good design is a costly luxury. The special award celebrates the excellence
achieved both in design quality and procurement practices and is made annually
to a new building project of any size, commission by or on behalf of central or
local government or by a grant-aided organisation.
The ceremony will be held on Friday 11th October 2002 in the
Baltic Suare next to the Millennium Bridge. Paul Finch OBE, Deputy Chairman of
the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, who is one of the
judges for the award will be there to present the plaque to the Leader of
Gateshead Council, Cllr Mick Henry.
Notable bridge projects Bennett Associates have also been involved
with include the The Lowry Centre footbridge
and the Glasgow Science Centre
footbridge.
